The source data for all three studies, which includes potentially identifying information, are not included in this archive.

00_00_ExecuteAllPrepareDataScripts.do is a Stata .do file that executes the three cleaning files (00_01_PrepareStudy1Data.do; 00_02_PrepareStudy2Data.do; and 00_03_PrepareStudyR1Data.do) that process the raw exports from the experiments (Qualtrics files) into three anonymized datasets included in this archive:

Study1data_publicdatafile_cleaned.dta
StudyR1data_publicdatafile_cleaned.dta
Study2data_publicdatafile_cleaned.dta

Log files from this cleaning are included for auditing purposes:

LogFile_PreparedPublicReplicationFileStudy1.txt
LogFile_PreparedPublicReplicationFileStudyR1.txt
LogFile_PreparedPublicReplicationFileStudy2.txt

01_Criminology_FinalAnalysisCombined.do is the core analysis file that loads all three study datasets and produces this output:
